A British barman has managed to blag his way backstage into yet another superfight, this time managing to sneak into the biggest fight in UFC history, Conor McGregor versus Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Oliver Regis previously posed as a part of Floyd Mayweather's security team in his bout with Conor McGregor last year, ending up ringside seats sat near boxing legend Mike Tyson and basketball star LeBron James.

This time the 33-year-old, who had purchased a $200 tickets for the fight, donned a flat cap so he wouldn't be recognised by security staff and made a daring break for ringside before the McGregor fight started.

He said: 'I put on a flat cap so the security staff couldn't see my bald head and managed to get through before the McGregor fight, so I was able to see the whole thing and the brawl afterwards.

'During the fights you are not allowed to walk through just in case you block people's view but in between the fights everyone gets up to get a drink or some food.

'I just went straight through and did not look back, I never even saw the seat I was given, it was brilliant.

'My mate was not as lucky, he got stopped by the security staff.'

The 33-year-old was also close to the post-fight melee which he described as 'crazy.'

He said: 'It was absolute carnage and an unbelievable thing to be part of.

'I was so close to everything, I saw one of Khabib's entourage get arrested and Conor's wife being escorted backstage when everything kicked off.

'It was crazy, seeing all the security staff involved and being right in the middle of it all, quite surreal.'

The bar manager also managed to sneak backstage at UFC 229 and get into the A-List star-studded VIP after party, by standing with self-help guru and multi-millionaire Tony Robbins entourage.

He added: 'To get backstage I followed Tony Robbins and his entourage and I managed to get counted as one of them right into the VIP section.

'It was fantastic, free drinks all night and I met Matt Damon and managed to get a picture with him, he was really nice and I told him I was a big fan of his movies.

'I saw Aaron Paul as well and had a quick chat with him, I'm a big Breaking Bad fan and showed him my Heisenberg tattoo, he said it was 'cool'.

But after leaving the VIP party, he did not get to meet his hero again, as McGregor did not turn up, but he still partied the night away until 7am.
